Map
Start Spring Havant 9.15.
My usual route to Sustainability centre via Rowlands, Finchdean, Chalton. 13 miles.
Then to Liss, Turtle bean for lunch via Coombe, Bailey Green (Privett), Froxfield, Priors Dean, Oakshott, West Liss. 17 miles.
Note I am not going via Hawkley but the lane around the bottom of the Hangers via Oakshott (several little ups and downs ) as wild garlic should be out, so breathe in deeply !!
I will book a table at Turtle Bean. for arrival 12.30 to 1.00.
Sustainability to Liss : 1300 feet.
Some lanes are becoming quite dark now with foliage so advise lights.
Back to Havant 16 miles, but formal ride will end when I leave at Sheet / Petersfield.
Average speed (with a tail wind !) 10.5 mph

About Wednesday rides
Wednesday rides usually start from Havant with stops for elevenses, lunch and sometimes tea. If you're unable to keep up or have a mechanical problem, someone will be available to help you - although we obviously cannot guarantee to solve all problems.
Wednesday rides usually provide a range of options to riders as we'll try to arrange multiple rides with different paces, distance and degree of hilliness.
On Wednesdays it is likely that there will be several riders coming back to the Havant area after an elevenses stop - although they might not include a PCTC ride leader. If that is what you'd like to do, please consult the ride organiser before the day of the ride to ensure someone knows and is able to bring you back.
This article describes what you should consider bringing with you on one of these rides.
